At least one Canadian province is standing up to the Maple Fist of Justin Trudeau. Trudeau’s government has made gun confiscation a priority, which also involves a mandatory buyback program. Alberta does not plan to cooperate.
The CBC reports that the province’s justice minister, Tyler Shandro, received a letter from the minister of public safety, Marco Mendocino, announcing the impending confiscations. He said the province will not submit to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police taking guns, particularly those the CBC refers to as “assault style weapons.”
“Alberta taxpayers pay over $750 million per year for the RCMP,” remarked Shandro, “and we will not tolerate taking officers off the streets in order to confiscate the property of law-abiding firearms owners.”
According to Canada’s National Post, Shandro has accused the Canadian government of fearmongering by referring to multiple guns as “assault style” to scare the part of the public that may be unfamiliar with firearms. He has also said that the confiscation was politically motivated. In June, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe called a gun freeze virtue signaling by the federal government.
According to CTV Canada, the Canadian federal government announced the ban this past spring. The ban prohibits 1,500 models of guns and related products, many semi-automatic guns that were already restricted, and many guns that had not been restricted before the ban. The country has already banned the sale or transfer of handguns, including their importation, although current owners can retain their weapons.
For his part, Mendocino has said the buyback will go on as planned. Shandro said he will not permit the police in his province or the RCMP to do anything of the sort. While Shandro said he plans to join current legal challenges, Mendocino argues that the buybacks and confiscations are within federal jurisdiction.

Awesome!
One social menace at a time. First, Trudeau, then,
a certain Shop Teacher, still being allowed to teach while dressed inappropriately.
Go Alberta! God be with them.
I thought the latest on the shop teacher was that he was giving the woke an object lesson in woke absurdity.
Why can’t American States do the same to DEA and FBI?
Better yet, kick them out of your state.
Probably that’s what his goal has been, but enough!
Time for the self centered burlesque show to stop and for kids to focus on their topics not his what-nots.
No matter how ‘titilating’ this theater may seem to many on the outside, that is no way to run a school, with everyone distracted. Not a good thing in a shop class.
It was noncompliance that eventually killed the Long Gun Registry there a few years back. If enough provinces will join in, maybe that will kill this nonsense, too.
note that both Manitoba and Saskatchewan have also already said that Trudeau’s gun buyback is a waste of limited police resources
How about a land trade with Canada? We will take the western two thirds of Canada and they can have the Northeast states and California. Then the libtards can move out of a united country that share values.
